Got rashes on one leg a week ago,doc said shingles n said my 2yr old son can get chickenpox but he didn't. is it normal? or can be wrong diagnosis??

Shingles: Your son probably has had his first chicken pox shot which will give him some good protection. Not touching or getting near your shingles helps him not get it also.
